Longtime staff member Philip Curry dies at 45

STANFORD -- Philip L. Curry, a Stanford University employee since
1972 and a former undergraduate student, died at his Palo Alto, Calif., home
Saturday, Aug. 26, of complications related to AIDS. He was 45.

No services were held. Curry is survived by his mother, Doris, of
Sweetwater, Texas, and a brother, Leigh, of New York City. The family prefers
donations to an AIDS agency of the giver's choice.

Curry, a member of the class of 1972 who majored in sociology, was a
senior systems analyst with Informaation Technology Systems and Services for
the past three years. He previously held positions in Faculty and Staff
Services, Student Affairs and elsewhere. His first job was in Residential
Education.

"I've never met a more good-natured person than Phil, or with a more
infectious laugh," said Norm Robinson, Stanford associate dean emeritus of
student affairs and now executive director of AIDS Resources, Information and
Services of Santa Clara County Inc.

"He was an extraordinarily generous individual," said Larry Horton,
Stanford's director of government and community relations, who was Curry's
freshman year resident assistant in Rinconada. "He'll be missed greatly by
his friends and colleagues."
